Hey, so there’s this whole buzz about Microsoft’s handheld console, and honestly, I’m not sure where to start. But let’s dive in, and I’ll try to make sense of it. So, Microsoft, yeah? They’ve kinda hit pause on their own Xbox handheld thingy. Why? Well, they’re putting all their chips (pun intended) into making sure other folks’ handhelds play nice with Windows 11. Seriously. Asus has something going on, called ‘Kennan.’ I think.
Maybe it’s because SteamOS is making waves on Windows 11 gadgets? I mean, I read somewhere that Lenovo Legion Go S works with both SteamOS and Windows 11 — that’s kinda wild, right? But, small catch: if you’re a big Game Pass fan, you’re outta luck with SteamOS. But if you’re down to sacrifice, then the performance seems to be ace.
Anyway, I got sidetracked. Um, where was I? Oh yeah, Xbox handheld dreams. Microsoft was like working on a couple of ideas, right? Their own first-party gadget and a team-up with Asus. The latter’s called “Project Kennan” — sounds mysterious, huh? Guess what? Word is that it could hit the shelves later this year, and the hardware’s, like, done.
Now, what’s the deal with Microsoft’s own device? Apparently, it was supposed to feel more Xbox-y, letting you play full Xbox games. But yeah, it’s chilling on the back burner for now.
Okay, here’s a twist — it’s not just the Legion Go S doing this dual OS dance. Asus ROG Ally’s in the mix too. From what I gather, SteamOS is all about that performance life, while Windows 11’s claiming the “ecosystem” crown. Whatever that means.
Random thought: following Tom’s Hardware might keep you looped in on all this crazy tech stuff. Or not. Depends on your vibe, I guess. Anyway, I’m off to grab a snack. This tech talk’s made me hungry!
